LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1818. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following sre extracts : " PARIS, Auo. 12.—The King transacted busi ness yesterday with the Duke de Richelieu. " The marriage of the Count Dccazea, Mini ster of General Police, with Mademoiselle de St. AuLire, was celebrated yesterday at noon, in the Chapel of the Palace of the Chamber of Peers. Her Serene Highness the Duchess of Bruns wick Luneburg Bevern, Aunt of the Bride, was present, and also the Ministers, a great number of Peers of France, and of persons of distinction. The Cure of the Parish of Saint Thomas d'Aquin pronounced the nuptial bene diction, accompanied by the Cure of Saint Ger rnain-des•Pres. The new married pair, after Mass, set out for the estate of Etioles. " The Duke of Gloucester arrived at Bordeaux on the 6th instant, at seven in the evening. " It was erroneously stated in most of the Journals of the 26th ult., that Marshal the Duke de Feltre had returned to Paris. The Marshal set out tor the Waters the 13th June, and has not yet returned to his family. " The indisposition of the Count Corvetto, the Minister of Finance, is more serious than was at first supposed. He remains at the Chateau of Muerte. " Mr. Theiwall arrived yesterday at Paris. He is about to give lectures on the works of Shak speare, Pope, and Milton. FIVE PEK CENTS. Tuesday 781.15 c. DEFBREIED STOCK of the 22ti March, 18 17, f. 90c. 9.2 d Sept. 1817, 85 f. 90 c. 22d March, 1816, S3 f. 80c. " NIMES, AUG. s.—By a Royal Ordonnanee, the Nitional Guard of the department of Gard is disi;olved, in order to give an opporinnity for forming it again, so as to include all the King's loihjertg without di,rinciion. " AUG.VLEIINA, l.-The infant Archduke, son of the Archduke Charles, has been christened by the nail:es of Charles Ferdinand." Tills morning we received letters from Buenos Ayres, by way of Antwerp, dated the 13th of May, which state, that a Commercial Treaty bad been concluded between the Americans and the Buenos Ayres Government, under which the trade of the United States is to have the preference to every other nation. THE FUNDS. --A further depression has taken place in the Funds ; Consols left off yesterday at 76i, and commenced this morning at 761 ; the fall is reported to arise from the present situation of affairs between this Country and America, as all the heavy sales or Stock for some days back have been made on account of American Houses. Exchequer Bills have become quite a drug in the Market, of course little has been done in them, although they are quoted nominally at 20s. prem., but that is the price at which they are issued by Government. At twelve o'clock Consols were 751 H 1, and a further depression is fully expected. The slight temporary tall of the Funds seems to have revived the hopes of Opposition, and rumours of intended changes in Administration have already been circulated. The Party do not seem to be aware that, in attributing the depres sion to the expectation of such changes, they pay au involuntary compliment to Ministers, and ad mit a cause very discreditable to themselves, inas lAueli as the hare possibility that they are likely to come into power seems calculated to weaken the confidence of the people.—Another reason aligned for this fall is the danger of a war with Aine•rica. How tar we may be concerned in the eouiplaiuts which Spain may make on the seizure of Pensacola we pi etend not to say, or whether our Government may deem the fate of Mr. lIIIBUTFINOT a matter of national enquiry. As tte case of that unfortunate Gentleman appears at present, it is highly disgraceful to the Ameri can G over nment, and would have roused the people of this Country into a flame in former times. But Ministers are wisely disposed to hear all, and then let Justice hold the scale. This is the true rule of action with sound Statesmen, and we hope our Ministers will always act upon the sat prudent principle. We have beard nothing more than we yester day stated on the subject of Mr. Peet's resigna tion, except, indeed, that as the Catholics of he land have resolved to pursue their object with un abated zeal, and as their friends on this side of the water are said to have promised them assist auce and even to flatter them with hopes of suc cess, it has been thought necessary that au Anti- Catholic Party should be formed, in order to sup port the Constitution in Church and Stare, and to raise an eternal bar against the further inroads of POPERY. It cannot be too often repeated, that as the Roman Catho lics throughout the British Empire enjoy all possible toleration in point of Religion, they have no right to complain, and cannot, upon any prin ciple of reason and policy, require more. THa CORONATION OATH iS Against them, as well as every indispensable guard of the Constitution ; and the people of this Protestant Country would never consent by their Representatives to . suffer that Constitution to be endangered by the admission of Papists into any share of Legislative Power. The Jack Tar, --, arrived from Jamaica, whence she sailed 13th June. On the 18th was brought to by the General Arismandi, Captain BE- , LACKE, who asked a few questions, and then or dered her to make sail ; on the 23d, was brought to by the Generous Santa Martha, of Buenos Ayres, who convoyed her front of} Cape 'Maze to the West end of Heneaga, as he said there were a, great many small schooners on the coast plun dering merchant vessels. The Victory Steam Boat, from London to Mar gate, full of passengers, was obliged, on Wed nesday last, to take shelter in Whitstable Bay, not being able to make way against a strong Nortb-East wind. We have not heard that any accident happened to her, but the passengers were all most dreadfully sea-sick, and completely tired of their long voyage, having been all night at sea. She arrived safe at Margate at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning. The state of atrai . rs, as we learn this day, and before stated, is gradually improving at Stock port, hut remains much as they were at Manches ter. It is hoped, however, that the example of the former place will soon be folio , xed by the de luded people at the other. • THE QUEEN.-Her MAJESTY'S health, we are extremely happy to say, continues to improve. On Thursday evening, at six o'clock, her MA JESTY left 'New Palace, awl rode out in her gar den chair, in the beautiful pleasure grounds at tached to the Palace, drawn by her favourite poney, guided by her coachman. The Duchess of GLOucetrea walked by the side of litT beloved mother. The Princess AUGUSTA followed, 'Can ing on the arm .of Sir FRANCIS Mil-MAN. They weir: attended by. two Royal footmen. Her MA JESTY continued her ride for upwards of au hour. She appeared very cheerful, .and much refreshed. On Thursday morning the Countess of CARDIGAN visited her MAJESTY. At the same time the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess Au eiusT4 rode out in an open carriage.—(Court Circular.) Miss TOCKER.—We lately gave an account of a trial in which ibis Lady was the defendant. She spoke for upwards of two hours, and was very much attended to by the Court. Her income being very limited, she was obliged to be her own Counsel; but the . justice of her cause, and her own powerful eloquence, secured her success. This Lady is of a very respectable family, and her own character has always been held in esteem. Her extraordinary abilities have raised her into con siderable notice, and her company is now anxi ously courted in the firSt societies. It has been errroneonsly stated that Madam Da BERTIIAND had arrived in this country.—Sir HUDSON Lowe sent home one of her female at tendants, who has already been ordered out of this Kingdom. We are sorry to learn, that his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT suffered another attack of the gout yesterday. The answer to inquiries was, that the fa is u slight one ; bat we hear that the PRINCE'S intention of returning to Brighton, in the beginninf, of next week, is expected to be re linquished. The attack did not prevent his Royal Highness from giving some audiences yesterday. (Morn;ng Paper.) Yesterday the Portuguese Ambassador had an audience of the PRINce RaoaNT at Carlton house; as had also Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN. The Dukes of YORK and CAmaarnou visited the PRINCE RE(;ENT yesterday. Yesterday morning the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, attended by Miss HEIDEMAN, rode ont in an "Pen carriage, and visited the Marchioness of BATH. Her Royal Highness proceeded from there to Leicester-square, and honoured Miss LINWooD's Exhibition of Needle-work with her presence, where she Was met by her Royal Consort, who arrived there on horseback, ST. HELENA. As the curiosity of the world at large will al ways be directed towards tl►e fate of the great Disturber of mankind, who is now happily placed beyond the poser of doing mischief, we insert the following Protest of COMit DR BEIWBAND, which is said to be authentic. We have only to observe that it is by no means likely that Sir HUDSON LOVVR would have removed Dr. O'MEARA without good reasons, and those reasons, what ever they were, must be strengthened by the anxiety of BUONAPARTZ to retain him " Longwood, April 13, 1818. " MoNsleua LE GOVVERNEUft,—Dr. O'MEARA made known to me yesterday, that in consequence of an order emanating from yon, he was obliged to quit this Island. On this occa sion I have the honour to request you to consider that M. O'Meara was gis en us by your Government on our de mand, and by way of substitute for a French Physician : that he has our confidence ;—that the Emperor has been for 7 months affected with a chronical disease in the liveS-, a disease mortal in this country, and occasioned by the want of exer cise, which he has been unable to take for 2 years, front the manner in which you have abused, and still abuse your powers ;—that things are come to that pass that the patient requires attendance every day;—that fore years you hare been wishing to dismiss M. O'Meara, to substitute M. Baxter in his place ; 7 4hat, notwithstanding your reiterated applications, the Emperor has constantly refused to receive this Physician, for whom he has an invincible repugnrznce. Consider that if you take from him M. O'Meara, without supplying his Place by a French or Italian Physician already known, you oblige this Prince to die destitute of all assistance. He is deter mined on this point. His agony will be the more painful ; but the sufferings of the body are temporary; whereas the opprobrium which such ferocious conduct stamps on the cha racter of your nation will be eternal. " I am instructed—tst. To declare that Doctor O'Meara is the only Physician on this rock in whom the patient has any confidence. 2d. To protest against his dismissal with what ever pretext it may be attempted to be coloured, unless it be the consequence of a legal decision. " I have the honour to be, " Monsieur le Gouverneur, " Your very humble and very obedient Servant, (Signed) " COUNT BERTRAND. To Governor Lieut.-Colonel Sir Hudson Lowe." SHIP NEWS. DEAL, Atm 14.—Sailed the Royal Sovereign yacht for Dover Roads. Poarsmourif, AUG. 14.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Rosario on a cruize. PA DSTOW, Auo. le.—The Vine, Esscry, of and for Swansea, from Portreath, was brought in here in distress, baring car ried away her fore and tuain-top masts in a gale of wind, at 5 P.M. CORK, AUG. g.—Sailed the Tyne, Bell ; and the Earl St. Vincent, Simpson, with convicts fur New South Wales. SHEERNESS, AUG. 14.—The brig Ceres, --, from London to Pernambuco, has put into this port with the loss of her main-top-mast. Hum., Auo. 13.—Arrived the Ajax, Stevenson, from Greenland, with 10 fish, 115 butts. Admiral OTWAT is appointed Commander-in. Chief his Majesty's fleet at Leith, in the rooan of Sir W. J. Hon, whose period of service has expired.—WlLLlAM PAINE, Esq. is appointed his Secretary. AMERICAN HOSTILITIES.—We always feel plea sure when our opinions coincide with those of the intelligent, loyal, and liberal Conductor of The (Dublin) Correspondent. The following are his . Observations on this subject " The sanguinary import of the American orders relative to the prosecution of the war against the Seminole Indians, has, it seems, found an advocate in an English Opposition Journal, and upon doctrines very new indeed, between belligerent Parties. According to the arguments laid down, the American Army is justified upon principles of self-defence, in giving no quarter to the hostile Indians, while the latter, in exercis ing a similar sort of severity, are stigmatised as butchers and savages. Now, this is inverting every common usage of warfare, because one party can have no right to pursue any course out of the legimate operations of war, that the other has not an equal right to retaliate. If the Indians carry on their hostilities ferociously or cruelly, let the Americans, if they can descend to be savages, do the same ; but, let it not be said, that they can exterminate with impunity, and that _the In dians must fight by the rules of civilized warfare. If the doctrine of self-defence were to be the jus tification of inhumanity in war, every nation com mitted in hostility would have to plead the princi ple in some degree or other—war implying self defence, as well as offensive measures. But, can the American Government justify to the civilized world the adoption of the mode oT warfare from which humanity shrinks, and which no other nation would practice ? The recollection of the thing makes one shudder." HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The whimsical comedy of Who it amts a Guinea ? originally produced at this Theatre, was revived there last night. The grave character of Barford whs assigned to WAnDa, who sustained it with strong effect. 'fealty's Torrent was admirable. LtsTotc, Junes, and ToKELy, also mainly contributed to give effect to the piece, which was warmly applauded by a numerous audience. The Comedy forthcoming at the Haymarket 'lheatre, under the title of The Green Man, is a translation from the French, adapted to the m3n uers of this country. There are two reputed Authors of this English version—one is Mr COLMAN, the Manager, and the other Mr. JONES, the. Actor. Perhaps they have both had a hand in it ; and if so, the result of the literary com bination, and the spirited performance of the Actor, hold forth a tolerable pa-valise of eventual success. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This morning the OF CHANCE. n c Y r . 0 crowd et 0 0 early hour, in the expectation of hearing th e Ijcs e CHANCELLOR'S decision on this importan t ell°- ; His Lordship entered the Court at half-pas t 51 o'clock, and procee l Nd to state, that this bo -C came before him yesterday as a motion bi tie he t ARTHUR PIGOTT, to dissolve an injune•- -11 had been obtained, a few days since, by:.

DELAY IN THE OPENING OF THE CONIN4IS,g GLOUCESTER, ON HOLDING IHE ASSIZE~ A most extraordinary, an d i n deed an °P r of dented circumstance has just occurred ill th e s of of Gloucester. On the evening of Wed der to r. fey last, Mr. RicAnno i the High Sheriff, .and tinue, proceeded about 10 o'clock, in °l ' Air ; meet the Judges, Sir WILLIAM GARROW., 611 , 0 0 Justice HOLROYD, Oil their way from Afo u tra s where the business had detained them rattier unusual time. fr° ll3 Sir William Garrow had come forwarullbrg Monmouth with the utmost expedition, hu t ; be' efforts did not enable him to reach Glon ees 'oi iii fore twelve o'clock.

'r° This at first did not very forcibly s trike S' s tb d ham as a serious objection, and he oPe' l li lg e ' Commission as usual.
